Former Tottenham striker talks about the pressure to win trophies at Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane has described how the pressure to win trophies at his current club is different from his time at Tottenham Hotspur. 

The 30-year-old recently joined the Bavarian side after coming through the ranks at Tottenham and becoming their record goalscorer.  

He has yet to win any silverware in his career and has admitted that it, in part, informed his decision to switch teams. 

What Kane said

The England international admits the urge to win trophies and that, although he is joining a team that has won their last 10 league titles, he believes that there is still pressure to achieve.  

He explained that although they have been dominant in the league, they have not had as much luck in the Cup and Champions League.

"With Bayern Munich, sometimes we expect them to win because they have won [the Bundesliga title] for the last 11 or 12 years or whatever it has been,” Kane said, per the Evening Standard.

"But in my short period, there is still a lot of pressure to win these trophies. We have not won the Cup for a few years, and we have not won the Champions League for a few years, so there is definitely a lot to gain and a lot of pressure to take.

"Time will tell, but at the moment I am enjoying that feeling. It’s definitely a different pressure compared to what I felt at Spurs. Of course, we wanted to win things at Spurs, but if you went a couple of games without winning, then it wasn’t a disaster.

"The feeling at Bayern is that you have to win every game. We won the first two games 4-0 and 3-1 and there was still talk about not being too happy about the way we played. That’s part and parcel of being at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
